Back on Earth...reality sinks in

PLEASE DO NOT GET COMPLACENT!
Level of interest in midterms is 73% among seniors & 35% among young voters, per NBC/WSJ poll. Imagine U.S. politics if gap was different.

Poll is in line with past midterm voting...

Fight for every single vote to the very last second until the polls close on November 6th.

any interest because they think nothing affects them, like Nam did for my generation. Also they get no civics education.
I was raised that the price of democracy was voting and paying taxes. Doubt many feel that way today.
